ELECTRIC STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 5, 1921.

To all whom it may cmwern:

Be it known that I, J 01m A. HOWARD, Sr., a citizen of the United States, residing at West New Brighton, S. I., in the county of Richmond and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Electric Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in electric stoves and the principal object is to provide a suitable and extremely eflicient stove for use with my improved cooking utensils shown in my allowed application Serial No. 274,047, filed January 30th, 1919.

Another object is to provide a stove with a heating element so positioned as to be protected from inju by the boiling over of the utensil heate ii Another object is to give a larger heating surface in a small radius.

With these and incidental objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel construction and combination and arran ement of parts, the essential features of whlch are hereinafter described and claimed and which are illustrated in the acoom anying drawing comprising one sheet, in w ich:-- V

Figure l is a vertical sectional elevation of my improved stove showin its use in connection with a utensil of t e type de scribed in my said application Serial No. 274,047. v

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the stove alone.

Like characters of reference refer to like parts in both views.

present instance is shown as a coffee pot 4 of the type set forth in my application Serial No. 27 4,047, having a cavity or hollow 5 formed in its bottom and provided interiorly witha removable device which coacts with said hollow.

Formed on the base 1 near the center thereof is an elevated portion 6 from which rises a standard 7 su porting a dome like heating element 8. cans are provided at 9 for connecting with a source of electrical energy.

While I have shown a coffee pot in the drawings, it is to be understood that I contemplate constructing a number of utensils in a similar manner for use with the herein described improved stove.

The above described embodiment of my invention is deemed to be the most desirable one, but it is obvious thatmany details may be varied without in any way departin from the spirit of my invention; and I therefore do not limit myself to the exact details of construction herein set forth nor to anything less than the whole of m invention limited only by the a pended c aim.

What I claim as new and by Letters-Patent is 1- In a cooking means, a utensil having a closed central chamber risin from its bottom and also having a fiat ttom portion surrounding said chamber, in combination with a stove comprising a base portion with a fiat upper surface on which said fiat bottom portion of the utensil is superimposed, and an electrical heating element rising from said base portion of the stove and disosed in said chamber of the utensil, wherey the opposed cooperating surfaces of the bottom portion of the utensil and the base portion of the stove are adapted to confine heat in said utensil chamber.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.

JOHN A. HOWARD, SR.
